Use gtar or cpio to make a single image file of your 320GB file system. Partition the 80GB disk and run mkfs to create a new and empty file system. Use gtar or cpio again to extract the files back. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
